As a special representative of the Korean Committee for UNICEF, Won Bin participated in the AWOO campaign, making a couple on his own.

In 2007, UNICEF created the AWOO Doll Campaign, where people can ‘adopt’ an AWOO doll by purchasing a 30,000 won doll making kit or an already made doll. The money is then used to provide children with six different types of immunization shots and other needed items.
